Dr. Steven R. Gundry the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox
series argues that the microbiome often called the "enteric brain " is actually the primary
driver of our neuronal and brain function-without a healthy gut we cannot have a healthy
brain. In his previous bestselling books Steven R. Gundry laid the groundwork for healthy
eating to prevent and repair leaky gut and improve our overall well-being. In The Gut-Brain
Paradox he continues his journey deep into the human body making the connections between a
healthy microbiome-which helps our metabolic function-and a healthier brain including improved
cognitive function and mood. The Gut-Brain Paradox reveals how metabolic inflexibility is a key
driver of neuronal death. Without metabolic flexibility neurons are starved to death and have
no fuel to repair. Since these neurons receive information from the microbiome and communicate
with the brain our brain function can only be as strong as the health of our microbiome. Dr.
Gundry helps us understand that a leaky gut leads to a "leaky brain " demonstrating the
connections to Alzheimer's and so-called Type 3 Diabetes. Thanks to the traditional Western
diet which now mainly subsists of processed foods and by the disruptors present in our diets
including glyphosate plastics and dysbiosis we are harming ourselves and our children. At
the very least Dr. Gundry contends these negative influences contribute to the brain fog
which many struggle with-mild impairment memory issues and lack of mental energy. The
Gut-Brain Paradox also includes the latest science on how to positively impact a baby's
developing brain and includes a program to guide readers towards healthy eating providing
recipes and supplements.
